Quick Starter (T9A:QS) is designed for faster games, with less experienced players in mind.

Fantasy Battles (T9A:FB) is a more elaborate game, designed for more experienced players, also used in competitions up to international championship.

We have created 16 unique armies from the Dread Elves in the west to the Ogre Khans in the east. Each army has different units and playstyles and can be represented by 28mm models from any model company. We have created a game that is both balanced and fun. Don't believe us? Try it for yourselves.

Now let's go out and play some games!

Till we meet in battle,
The 9th Age Team

A note about the rules versions

The page you are currently visiting hosts the stable versions of our games: for instance, version 1.3 of The Ninth Age: Fantasy Battles. Rules that are in development (beta version) are available on a dedicated page, accessible via the "Beta rules" tab of the menu.

Please note that when both Full and Slim books exist in the same version, either one is valid; otherwise the one with higher version number takes primacy. Documents not matching the "x" and "y" of x.y.z_# version of the Rulebook are not considered up to date.

Note: translated rules downloaded from here are as official as the original rules in English, provided they are up to date with the same version number or higher (version tag can be checked on Filebase, where the files are hosted). In case they appeared not to match, the original prevail - please report.
